This will be a “landmark” meeting – focusing on the high-profile CDG Express project and its impact on the future of the economic and touristic life of the Greater Paris region. A great opportunity to understand how the project is being developed and share best-practice experiences.
As you will note from the Programme, Conference Sessions during the morning of 11 April will include keynote speeches, debates and round tables with project stakeholders. Special guests have been invited to share their views and express their expectations concerning the CDG Express. During the afternoon, there will be presentations covering global air-rail best practice - from Flytoget, Heathrow Express and IATA – together with an update on US air-rail developments and a review of Airport Expresses worldwide, comparing key operational data.

About IARO Workshops
As part of its work to promote best practice to organisations involved in air-rail transport, the International Air Rail Organisation (IARO) holds regular Workshops for its Members and invited guests. Each Workshop focuses on a specific aspect of the air-rail business, with the aim being for participants to learn from specialists and to share their expertise and know-how through open discussion.
The Workshops are 1-day round-table meetings. Participation is limited to 25 attendees, to ensure maximum discussion and inter-action. There are usually 4 or 5 speakers, who will introduce a specific theme or share their own organisation’s experiences, with plenty of time for questions and discussion after each presentation.
The Workshops are organised for IARO Members, although non-Members are invited to attend, as appropriate. Members may register either one or two participants.
